Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin worked as an assistant to Charles Barry on the design of the New Palace of Westminster. Prior to the rebuilding of The Palace of Westminster, Britain had seen an unparalleled metamorphosis from a Roman Catholic Country to a Protestant. This affected many aspects of life in the following years including architecture. Pugin himself had already dissented from his Protestant upbringing and converted to Roman Catholicism in 1835. This internal dissent from tradition certainly affected Pugin’s view of what the true Christian style of architecture was.
This masterpiece was from the late 1200s and is in the church of San Francesco, Italy. However, Giotto’s painting of the Lamentation was in the early 1300s and is in the Arena Chapel, Padua. In The miracle of the Crib at Greccio depicts Christ born in the church at Greccio. While the Lamentation, depicts Christ death after the crucifixion (Stockstad 610 &12).

The Virgin and Child are also the most prominent figures in the painting. The facial features are more angular, which makes the subjects seem unapproachable or aloof. Giotto is considered by many as a pioneer in incorporating emotion into his paintings.

When comparing Supper at Emmaus (1648) to its 1629 counterpart, the drastic change in technique is quite evident. Rembrandt dropped the theatrical quality in his use of layout and lighting; depicting Christ head on, under normal lighting. Christ is placed in the center beneath an arch, giving the painting a symmetrical layout. As Rembrandt became more dejected in life, he worked harder at striving to depict biblical scenes that were pure and of the utmost holiness. His painting Night Watch is noted for its excellent use of chiaroscuro.
In the end Savonarola was thrown out of San Marcos and burned to death for his interventions in the state. These are two example of how Florence freed itself from tyranny in 1494 and 1498.
